Where Have I Been--Baby Powder!!!!!

‎01-23-2014 07:31 PM

Just after applying baby powder, I saw an ad on TV. It gave lawyers' names and phone numbers if you or someone in your family has gotten ovarian cancer from baby powder!!!! Has this been publicized?????

Very old news. Use baby powder made from 100% Cornstarch, no talc. Safe for use on panties, pantiliners, etc

I always thought baby powder was a safe item to use. Now I'm hearing that it contains asbestos. What in the heck?

Don't a lot of the powders (like Mally's, etc.) contain a lot of talc? (I do like Mally and her line--not bashing.)
